Rebuilding

Sometimes, things just don't go the way you planned them to go. And you regret that it turned out that way, but it did. Would it be a solution to just leave the past behind, pretend nothing bad happened and look into the future? It is á solution, but is it the best...?

Feelings and mind can make it really hard to make a right decission, because they often are a contradictory. Here is a comparison:
If your house is blown away in a storm and you have to rebuild it, you wouldn't FEEL like braking it down first, before you start rebuilding it again. But with COMMON SENSE you would knów that if you would rebuild your house on the ruins that are left, it would collapse soon.
What would you choose?
A good feeling for a short time, because you don't have to put a lot of effort in the work? Wouldn't you always be afraid that the house would collapse? If you would listen to your mind and thán be able to rebuild the house, you could be sure about the fact it would be a strong house forever, because it has a good foundation and it got through a rough time.

This is something that has been keeping me thinking for the past few months. Sometimes you'd rather don't look back on things that happened. But if you don't confront yourself with it, who are you fooling then?

The books of Nehemia describe the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. How impossible it seemed to do that, but with Gods help, protection and blessing they díd it. God is a faithfull God and if your heart reaches out to Him, to do the right thing, He will bless you. Because He is a caring Father. He does not want to punish people for the wrong things they did, He wants to bless them in the good things they do. Amen.
